I have written only to confirm that our excitement level has not lessened since our last post. We have discovered that an unwatched clock will run a marathon and so, with less than 39 days to go the only thing we can think about is how little time we have left to get ourselves ready! That and what we should pack. Anyone who has watched Lindsay or I try to pack for a weekend trip will understand why this is such a large problem. The fact that there are 6 countries on the itinerary combined with about 15 different common weather patterns multiplied by colour pallet, accessible footwear and functionality means that there is only about 433,000 different clothing combinations for us to consider while packing the backpacks that are going to be our best friends for 2 months. Oh, and it needs to fit in carry on. We might need therapy after this. We have also decided that it would be wonderful to read the Divergent series on a beach in Ghana or a bench in Paris or even in a rustic hostel in the Isle of Skye. Since we can't seem to wrap our head around what to pack this has kept us surprisingly entertained!
